Thursday morning I clocked forty-five minutes on the elliptical. I had noticed my knee popped, but it didn't bother me then. Once I got to school, I had to walk up some steps, and suddenly my left knee just became weak, and unstable.

It has been hurting me since, and I really want to exercise. I was just wondering, what do you recommend???

I don't know how long you've been using the elliptical, but I was given advice like this when I hurt my knees:

Ice it and rest it when you can. I know you're probably keen on not missing exercise right now, but you won't be doing yourself any favors if you're exacerbating an injury, especially in an important joint like your knees.

I would recommend doing some leg lifts. Where you sit on the weight bench with the weights around your ankles and lift straight up. It's our thigh muscles that keep our knees in place.

I work out on an elliptical too and notice some knee pain following--so I am also going to try the Mueller's knee band to help keep the knee together--this is what I just ordered. They have many reviews--if you want to read about them.
